After Chen Tao and the other three marquis agreed to take refuge in Xia Ren, Qian Miaocai informed Xia Ren of the news, and Xia Ren also immediately rushed to meet with these few secrets.

After the meeting, Xia Ren didn't let them do anything, but just told them that they only needed to speak for him in the court, because now Xia Ren was not short of strength and resources, and he lacked the support of the ministers of the court.

Now all of a sudden, it has the support of the six Hou Ye in Donghai Prefecture, plus the Sun family in Nanban Prefecture, that is, the support of the seven Hou Ye, which is already a lot, and these Hou Ye are not the kind of Hou Ye who are in name only, they all have some background.

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, a few days passed.

At this time, in the west of the Ruiwu Legion, Xia De's residence.

Xia De is the fourth son of the current Xia Emperor and one of the four noble concubines of the harem, Chen Guifei, but because Chen Guifei's mother's family is not strong, he is ready to unite Xia Wu and Yang Guifei, wanting to fight for a future.

Because Xia De is the fourth prince, and his talent is not as good as that of the second prince Xia Wu, after the discussion of the two families, they are ready to fully support Xia Wu to ascend to the throne, and Xia De exists as a helper to help Xia Wu ascend to the throne.

But Xia De himself was unconvinced, but no one listened to him, so although he has been assisting Xia Wu, he is also secretly developing his strength and wants to replace Xia Wu at any time.

At this time, Xia De was staying in his study and seemed very irritable.

"Why are King Wen and King Xuan secretly investigating this king, even Xia Wu is no exception, have they discovered the secret development of this king's power?"

Xia De recently discovered a very bad situation, and through some means, he found that these three princes seemed to be secretly investigating him.

A lieutenant general below spoke: "It seems that something has happened in the imperial court, so these three princes are now a little suspicious of you." ”

"What's the matter?"

"It seems that there is a mysterious force in the imperial court, and they are also ready to participate in this battle for succession, and under the noses of the three princes, they have won over the two princes, so the three princes are very angry, and they will lock the first target on you, the prince. ”

Xia De was a little incredulous and said, "There are still people who can hide in the eyes of the three of them until now, and they are still suspicious of this king?"

The lieutenant nodded.

Xia De was a little speechless, and then said bitterly: "This king just wants to develop some forces to protect himself, after all, although this king and Xia Wu are on the same front, they are not in harmony with each other, and this king does have the idea of replacing him, but this king doesn't have that strength!"

"I didn't expect that there was a prince who was also dormant, and it had developed to such a scale quietly, which made this king envious. ”

After speaking, he asked the lieutenant general: "You say, what should this king do now? The three kings are staring at this king together, this king will definitely not be able to hide this bit of his family background, what should he do in the future?"

The deputy general glanced up at Xia De, and then hesitated: "The prince can hand over the power in his hands to His Royal Highness King Wu, so that His Royal Highness King Wuwang's strength is estimated to be not much worse than King Wen. ”

When Xia De heard this, he stared at the deputy general for a long time, until the deputy general's face was pale and cold sweat broke out, and then he slowly spoke: "How long have you been taking refuge in the Martial King?"

The deputy general was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly said: "The prince has been wronged, but the last general has always been loyal to the prince!"

Xia De sighed: "The reason why this king didn't move you is because he knows that you don't have any bad intentions, he just wants this king to find a better backer, because you don't believe that this king can successfully bring down Xia Wu." ”

After speaking, he continued: "Alas, maybe this king is really not suitable to participate in this dispute, and he is actually merciful to you, you go back and tell Xia Wu, and this king will help him in the future, as long as they don't betray their promises." ”

The deputy general didn't speak this time, but said in a deep voice: "Lord Wang, the last general has always been your person, and the last general has not done anything unfavorable to the prince, the last general has contacted King Wu, but I don't want you to go against King Wu, because only when you two princes join forces can you have the power to fight with King Wen." ”

Xia De waved his hand and said: "You know what you said about this king, but you are just a little unwilling, now that you can't hide it, then just join, this king is not the kind of person who would rather die than give in, Xia Wu still has some ability, and this king is not a humiliation of himself." ”

After speaking, he was a little puzzled: "In that case, the other force should be my seventh brother who stays in Donghai Prefecture?"

The deputy general nodded and said: "It's basically true, the last general also told His Royal Highness King Wu about this, but King Wu didn't believe it, he only believed what he found, so he still put the first target on you, Lord Wang." ”

Xia De smiled and said: "This is normal, no one will believe that my seventh brother has only been out of the palace for a few years, and he can have such strength, and the discord between this king and Xia Wu, the rest of the people know that this king has been out of the palace for a short time, and there is a chance to secretly develop his power, so it is not strange that they are the first to investigate this king." ”

After speaking, he said with some curiosity: "I want to see how strong my seventh brother is? It's a pity that this king has no power in Donghai Prefecture, so I can only wait for Xia Wu and them to investigate." ”

Just when Xia De's side was about to give up his idea, Xia Wu's side also received information from his subordinates.

Looking at the information in his hand, Xia Wu was expressionless and did not speak.

After a while, after reading the information, Xia Wu said in a deep voice: "So, Xia De's side doesn't have the rest of the hidden strengths, only the ones we already knew?"

The leader of the Shadow Killing Below, who was hidden in the black robe, said in a hoarse voice: "Yes, there are only those hidden strengths that we have known for a long time on King De's side, and the rest are none. ”

Hearing the words of the Killing Shadow, Xia Ren's eyes flickered a little, and then he said solemnly: "Mobilize all the Killing Shadows, give me all the strength to explore Donghai Prefecture, I want to know every move in Donghai Prefecture, especially Niwang." ”

Shadow nodded, and left.

Watching the Killing Shadow leave, Xia Wu picked up the information in his hand again and looked at it carefully, and then muttered in a low voice: "I hope it's not you, otherwise you will be a little scary, hidden too deeply, but there is no one else except you." ”

In fact, not only Xia Wu began to send people to investigate the intelligence of Donghai Prefecture, but Xia Wen and Xia Xuan also received Xia De's information, and after analysis, they thought that he did not have the strength to stir up these behind the scenes, so they all suspected Xia Ren.

No matter how well Xia Ren hid it, no matter how short the time it took to open the mansion, no matter how impossible, but if everything that is impossible is excluded, then the rest is the answer.

The residence of King Wen.

Xia Wen looked at the information in his hand and let out a chuckle.

"I didn't expect my fourth brother to really accumulate strength in secret, but don't worry, the most unexpected thing for this king is that the black hand behind the scenes is actually my seventh brother who is not a threat. ”

Thinking of a few years ago, when they said goodbye to Xia Ren, Xia Ren's cautious and heartless performance was a burst of laughter, it turned out that from that time, he began to hide.

"This is a terrible opponent, more terrible than the other two, this king is not afraid of the opponent on the surface, he is afraid that someone is secretly dormant, the key is that the strength of this dormant person is not weak. ”

After speaking, Xia Wen sighed, it seems that he has to give up suppressing Xia Wu and Xia Xuan for the time being, and he must send Xia Ren out of the game first, otherwise it is really a bit dangerous to leave such an opponent who knows how to hide his strength and is still strong.

To be honest, Xia Wen has never taken Xia Wu and Xia Xuan in his eyes, don't look at them as if they are fighting with him now, it is because he has not made strength.

Xia Wu only has one Hou Ye from his mother's family, and it is also the kind of Hou Ye who is not very strong, and Xia De's mother family does not even have a Hou Ye, so they are united.

But Xia Wen is different, his mother is the current queen, and the Cao family is also the kind of top Hou Ye family, which is much stronger than the Li family in terms of overall strength, and has been passed down for thousands of years, with a profound heritage.

As for Xia Xuan, Xia Wen didn't pay attention to it, Xia Xuan's back stood the sect, but the sect has always been disliked by the royal family, which doomed him to the process of ascending to the throne full of ups and downs, and these sects did not dare to support him in a big way, for fear of annoying the royal family.

Therefore, Xia Xuan is weaker than Xia Wu on the whole, and for Xia Wen, he is the existence of being able to kick out of the game casually.

The reason why Xia Wen didn't move them so early was because he wanted to keep them, because he knew the strength of these two people, and he would leave them until the final assessment to defeat them in one fell swoop, otherwise he would kick them out early, in case it caused some variables, it would be bad.

It's just that what Xia Wen didn't expect was that the variables finally appeared, appearing in the person he didn't expect the most, and his strength also made him feel threatened.

"Shadow, send someone to investigate the information of Tokai Prefecture, especially Nioh's, and gather his every move and bring it back to this king. ”

"Yes. ”

After instructing the shadow, Xia Wen said to a person who looked like a housekeeper below: "You go to the Cao family, send this information to the Cao family, and by the way, talk to the Cao family, so that they can speed up the communication with those marquis, and now there is an opponent who can threaten the king." ”

The housekeeper didn't speak, took the information in Xia Wen's hand, and went out.

After the two left, Xia Wen suddenly asked the deputy general on the side: "How is that Zhang Liao now?"

The adjutant general said respectfully: "That Zhang Liao is indeed a talent, and now the soldiers he has trained are basically the best among all General Cao's subordinates, if His Royal Highness hadn't already greeted him, maybe General Cao would have transferred him to his side." ”

Xia Wen nodded, and asked again, "Can you find out that he is abnormal?"

"No, Zhang Liao only trains and trains every day, and never comes into contact with outsiders. ”

"Well, let's get ready to transfer him to my command, this king can feel that the day of the assessment is not far away. ”

At this time, Xia Ren didn't know that Xia Wen and they already knew that he was the mastermind behind the scenes, even if they knew, Xia Ren would not be surprised, after all, after so long, even if they used the elimination method, they could be excluded from themselves.

He was listening to the information sent by the Yu Pavilion at this time, which was detailed information about Xia Wen and the three of them and the forces behind them.

Hearing that Yuge is really powerful, this information is much more complete than Xia Ren's collection, after all, Xia Ren did not develop Jinyiwei to the west at the beginning, and Zhang Liao and others, he has never contacted them, so he is afraid of arousing suspicion.
